pardon my english.
Seems that there are a few other problems with the msvcrt6 [1].
I wonder if VC6 does not suffer with these problems, and, if not, did they have to do their own workarounds? If so then this is [I suppose] a mingw issue not a ruby one.
I know the OCI guys with mingw had problems with descriptors not working, too[2].
Thoughts?

I can't understand the problems from this URL.
How do I reproduce them?
